History

Following on from two previous reports 'Towards Safer Childbirth' between the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Royal College of Midwives in 1994 and 1999, this third working party incorporated membership from the Royal Colleges of Anaesthetists, and Paediatrics and Child Health. The group reviewed the topic following changes in the National Health Service and concern over staffing levels and multiprofessional working.
